A few two-wheelers got trapped due to the incident.

Rajesh Chavan, a resident said BMC constructed this pavement slab at least one and a half decades ago. After this, the BMC just removed paver blocks and installed new ones.

"Never BMC repaired the full slab. This area has a high footfall. There was a possibility of an accident as most pedestrians use this footpath," said Chavan.

"At least now BMC should repair properly," he added.

Mid-day tried reaching out to Ajay Patane, the assistant municipal commissioner of BMC's T ward for comment.
